  • Sol Soils...Time for Repotting

    Sol Soils...Time for Repotting
    2024/03/01

    It's time to try new and different things! It's the first day of March. The freshness and newness of a new season feel great! The Camellia buds are swelling, daffodils are opening up, and the crocus lift their heads to welcome us back into the garden.

    I took a break from podcasting. After a moment to gather my thoughts, I had a few speaking engagements here and there, traveled to some exciting places, and promoted my books. I am easing back into the podcast and the garden as well.

    I recently chatted with the two guys Travis and John of Sol Soils. March is the perfect time to begin transplanting plants that need more rooting space. Listen in to see why Sol Soils might be a resource to consider trying. Precious was pulling me as she shared how exciting it is to try a new product for our indoor jungle - Thank goodness there was no squeaky toy nearby.

    The world has changed, my life has changed, the garden has changed and there is so much to see, do, and chat about. Why not pour a cup of tea and join me?

    Change in the garden will happen. Plants will die, lighting will change, and Mother Nature will certainly have her way. After a period of mourning, we adapt. It's simply life. However, there is always something left behind that gives us hope. Believing in the garden is simply an act of survival. Do you believe in your garden?

    Snow, crocus, daffodils, and more. Spring has been plugged in and I can feel the electricity of the season. I had the honor of speaking with the Creative Director of The Philadelphia Flower Show, Seth Pearsoll. As you know, it doesn't take much for me to get excited about anything flower related. After speaking with Seth, I am really plugged in and ready for The Philadelphia Flower Show.  I hope you attend this year as it is back indoors with a new design and more fun! 

    I am speaking at a private event for the Charlotte Garden Club this week about gardening in urban environments. You can garden in any size space you have. 

    I am also speaking at Wing Haven I am pinching myself). I have wanted to visit this garden for quite a while and now I AM SPEAKING THERE.  My topic - The Garden is the Elixir We Need. With so much happening in the world today, the garden touches all of our senses and is often a place of healing. 

    After a much-needed pushback from social media to re-ground, reset and re-establish myself, please consider following me...
